FruitDBase

FruitDBase was conceived to address a gap in the bioinformatics landscape: the lack of a species-centric, quality-controlled transcriptomic resource for Prunus dulcis (almond). While general-purpose repositories such as NCBI SRA, ENA, and GDR provide valuable raw and genomic data, they lack the curation and integration needed for efficient comparative studies. The project currently provides a curated expression atlas for P. dulcis, based on uniformly processed RNA-seq data and supported by interactive exploration tools. For other Prunus species, FruitDBase offers access to available public SRA datasets, laying the groundwork for future atlas development across the genus.
